Thank you for the steady camera, quiet and polite manner of speaking and no horrible background music. Something from the gentle classical genre would have complimented this style of video. Your choice of nothing at all was a wonderful change. Thank you, thank you, thank you. From an accomplished American mechanic who has changed around a dozen of these boots and shafts just on my own vehicles. I wanted to see the split boot installation and the sticky boot title attracted my attention, as well as 63,955 others before me. Thumbs up, my friend.

After reading the installation instruction, I still not quite sure how to cut the boot to fit. This video clearly demonstrated how that was done. Thanks.

I am going to do this job this week. I was delighted to see you used my idea of plastic wrap to keep the new boot clean. If it lasts a few years I will be happy. Thank you for your time.

I never new this existed....The BMW dealer in Canada charges about $1200.00 to replace this....Thank you very much....Good, easy to understand video.

great video very easy to follow and alot less hassle than having to strip everything down thx for this

Thank you for posting this video, was gonna pay a mechanic to change my cv boot but now am gonna give this a go myself :)

Helpful demonstration video. Many thanks.

Thanks my man, I'm ready to do one of these today, looks like fun. If it holds up even better.

Very informative. Full respect to the guy with well manners. I would like to replace them but can't trust any garage apart of the car dealers which they charge millions. Thanks

Great video! One of the best on KZfaq!

very nice video man, gotta replace mine cv boot (inside/inner one) so this vid helped me a lot. Thanks for your videos and keep it going!

Well done, great video.

Thanks for the video very helpful

Great, thank you for making time to do this video.

Your video is very helpful thank you

Fantastic!! Thanks for the vid, I was toying with getting one but I would have glued the whole thing at once & made a right mess!!

Great instructive, thanx!

how do you tension the bands?..good vid but missed some important parts

Love the Scottish accent Daibh! Love the detailed instructions

Very informative. Thank you.

Thank you for this video! Going to give this a try following an MOT fail.

this has helped me do this job thank you.

very good video helped me a lot,thanks

great video

the O clamp how you tight it because it just look hard to get it tight up like the 1 that have screw .

excellent job

This is a good video, I use them on my car, they last about 2 and 1/2 years on my BMW which is exactly the same as a normal boot for my car as its heavy. I would say, when you do this, cleanliness is close to godliness as grease and glue are not best friends so make sure you keep everything clean.

There is a special tool, but I just pulled them as hard as I could then nipped them with pliers. It took a couple of tries but I managed it. (Cable ties do just as good a job)

Glad you enjoyed it.

You have a big heart ....personally I would rather just replace the whole thing !

Very very well done video, considering the corroded condition of the components. (Alliteration unintended :) I have just bought one of these for my SAAB Aero. Here in NZ my job should be easy.... our climate leaves vehicles just a little dusty underneath. Thanks for sharing. You have saved me a lot of instruction reading when the kit arrives.

good vid.

Very informative video it's better than the "bail cast" video

Hi good video, but how do you tighten the clips properly?

Dan Thanks.

This is a kool idea. And I know that there is glue that will hold rubber together. Because I have made O ring’s for hydraulic fittings on heavy equipment. But my thoughts are it’s to bad that there isn’t something that could be applied to the outside of the boot to make it one piece.

Im not tring to be a dickhead but the cv boot is the last thing you should be worried about , the road salt has everything rusting away, but you're video is good

Very good, well paced presentation. I especially appreciate the steady camera, good lighting, and lack of annoying music. I'm curious about the car. It looks rather "vintage" or is it that you simply live in a harsh environment?

Cool. Cable ties are OK for MOT?

Great video . Thanks Scotland gu bràth.

Not the sort of problem you needed on a Saturday afternoon, no doubt you made your feelings known to the supplier.

Great Job!

have used them on my 4x4 1year later still all good

Great job. can i use plastic tie instead of metal?

I believe the axle or proper boot should be replaced instead of a split boot, however, one thing I noticed here is that the old grease could have been easily sprayed away with brake or carb cleaner, then pack new grease into the joint. This would ensure any grit, dirt, salt etc. is gone from inside the joint. I would also use some hose clamps, which are easier than these boot clamps. Also, the glue is a rubber weld compound, not a super glue.

how i can order this ?? online

How long did that glued on boot last ?

Well that was a nightmare of a job. Firstly the "universal" boot wasn't universal and was not long enough and then the clips were of no use, ended up having to get proper jubilee clips, only then did the boot stay on.

Good for an old merc. CV boots require the rear of the car to be stripped down usually.

The problem with those “quick boots” is you cannot clamp the clamps tight enough, like from the factory. They end up loose, but if you can get it tight good for you. Better to just put a new shaft.

Holy smack... this guy sounds like Steve Irwin for cars !xD

Good video but you didn't show the tool to tighten the band clamps.

Very good tutorial well explained. Just wondering how effective and durable that type of boot is in the long term

good vid cheers

£10 is good I paid £10.50

l think l may do this but l read bad things about split boots ,even so , l like the easy way.

good video but you do not show how to tighten up the bands,I had to buy hose clamps which can be tightened with a screw driver

You glued a cv boot together? You have a lot of faith in that glue. How long do you expect that to last?

I fitted one today = easy ! BUT HTF do one tighten the clips?Tthere is nothing shown in the instructions. I gave up and used two rings of soft wire and twisted the ends together to tighent each ring - a real Zimbabwe fix !!

jet wash it first

Garage work bench horror show ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iciWppihy6-9eY0.html

ive had 2 fail in under 1 year. glue is ok. rubber is poor.

DOES IT STOP THE CLICKING PLEASE

Good video but these cv boots are as much use as a chocolate fire guard, your far better popping the driveshaft out and fitting a oem style boot

tempting but I don't think cutting cv boot is a good idea🤔

No mechanic worth their salt would do this in Scotland. Not worth the agro

Scotland with the road salt.
